    Quietest stainless catback?

    Everything is stock besides the downpipe & backbox atm. I'll have a look on youtube for the one you're using & see how it sounds. Thank you

    Quietest stainless catback?

    Hi all, Looked on the forums here & ft86club, & couldn't find anything close to what I'm looking for. I've currently got a Cobra non-resonating catback & backbox, but find its MUCH too loud since I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood, so I'm aiming to replace it with something as close to OEM volume as possible & add an exhaust cutout for the choice between quiet & loud, but would like it to be stainless steel to it wont rust. What catbacks & backboxes have you run, & how close to stock volume were they?

    Fog light housing replacement

    Think Mine's pre facelift, so thank you for confirming the ones Will sent will work Think these are what I need. Thanks all for the replies
  4. Hi all, Recently had a stone kicked up at me whilst driving, & it's cracked the housing for the fog lights. I've done a lot of looking around online, & can't find any replacements (Except AliExpress, notorious for low build quality), or some on amazon with no fixtures, so I'm not sure how they'd fit (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Diaphragm-Daytime-Running-1200LM/dp/B07XH215JS/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=31YZYZBYQFFYSKF03RTE). If anyone has any spares, or knows where I can get OEM replacements, please point me in the right direction Thank you

    Stereo & Alarm problems

    I've had the bonnet open & pushed the sensor all the way down while locking the car with the fob, so doubt it's that if anything, but I'll give it another look later. I've got a cam plugged into the glove box cigarette lighter for power, & it takes 10 seconds to power down after the car is turned off, so maybe I'll give timing that a shot.

    Stereo & Alarm problems

    Thanks for the info. I'll contact the garage & see if they'll replace the battery since it's within warranty.

    Stereo & Alarm problems

    Just tried to start the car with no luck, So jumped it, & the stereo seems to work, so maybe that was just a battery issue, which is surprising since i went for a 2 hour drive on saturday, so it should be fully charged. tbf my electronics knowledge with cars is pretty lack luster as never done anything like this before. I'm thinking my alarm beeping could be the same issue & my battery might just be on it's way out, but the car is only 4 & a bit years old at this point, so opinions on that are welcome as well.

    Stereo & Alarm problems

    Hi all, Thread title gives you an idea of what's going on, but not specifics, so, Alarm issue: Every few days, when I lock my car with the buttons on my key, the alarm will start to beep, and after a minute, go off. This doesn't happen when I put my key in the door and lock it that way, and will sometimes stop for days, allowing me to lock it normally. I don't believe it's a sensor issue, as I've tested them all by holding down each sensor, & adding some bits of cardboard as padding to make sure the sensors are fully compressed while locking the car. It seems random when it happens, as it's happened in all kinds of weather, so any help on that would be appreciated. UN-SOLVED: So it's been a few weeks since this happened, & my battery was either too low to support the stereo, or fully charged as I'd jump the car, then go for a long drive. I've since replaced the battery, & it still hasn't happened, so I'm assuming this was just a problem with the battery charge. If it happens again I'll re-edit this. Re-edit: As stated above changed out the battery in the car & it hadn't happened since, until yesterday. Last thing I can try at home is changing the battery in the key, & if that doesn't work, guess it's back to Toyota to troubleshoot it. Stereo problem: I recently got a reverse cam, & was wiring it into the 12v cable on the back of the head unit. This 12v cable has had another cable wired into it for quite some time with no 'side effects', however, now there is nothing else wired into it. It's just the standard wire as if the loom was stock. Now when the key is inserted into the ignition & turned 1 notch, the stereo is powered on, however anything that affects the electronics, like the door being opened or closed reboots the stereo. When the key is turned again, as if to start the car, the stereo tries to power up, & fails, eventually turning off. SOLVED: My battery was just too low for the car to sustain the stereo & all electronics. A jump to start the car solved this (probably should have tried that a lot earlier) Any help with these problems would be a great benefit to me, & if any fixes are found in the meantime, I'll post them as replies, or edits.
